Gotta call BS on that. Some senior captains that are no longer here had a habit (very bad one) Of not taking any. But very rare. Some (very very few) will not take 2nd JS for reasons of comfort and or space for seat position. I’m a commuter and will always bend over backwards to get all JS and NR on, and so will almost everyone else. If you’ve seen something different let your JS committee know

Just wanna point out how commuter unfriendly it is. It’s in the FOM that CA can denied taking JS for ‘no reason’.

That's a good thing. It's the Captain's aircraft and they should have the final say without any second guessing.

I commute too and I've never been denied the jumpseat.

No TBNT… nothing… beyond the “still in process of reviewing” for me and folks I know. Incredibly curious if anybody has heard anything beyond that from the July window.

We’re you denied the JS? If so, let your rep know about it.

This. This right here.

There’s not as many of these pricks in Seattle as there used to be but they still exist and it is well known enough that getting gate agents in Seattle to clear jump seaters still requires a little captain persuasion sometimes.
